I like the changes, it works flawlessly now!! Tested with unencrypted
account too. no bugs so far. I couldn't test it  using my gmail
account because i use 2-factor auth, so i needed to create a new key
each time i wanted to test.

One question tough; what is the use of Abort() if it doesn't roll back
any changes? Shouldn't it call Reset() before disconnecting, otherwise
it's almost the same as Close().

I would also like to implement the APOP, but i need to hash a string
with md5. Is there a more native way of obtaining an md5 hexdigest
than calling md5sum or openssl with Exec?
